Re: What would you say to a young you
I have thought of a few more now and I would say to a younger me:-Do not think it is up to you to solve all the problems and difficulties around you. It is not true that if you can only think about things long enough you can always find the answers and/or influence the course of events to make things turn out right. The solution/remedy for bad or unfortunate things that happen to you and around you does not always lie in your hands. Thinking this way will only cause you to worry too much and feel guilt and responsibiity for the things you cannot influence.
Frequently, all you can do is hope.
Everyone makes mistakes - it's unavoidable. Nobody is perfect. Be forgiving to yourself and others and be willing to let things go.
It is OK to feel anger and strong emotion - control it, but don't always try to hide it so others may feel more comfortable.
Your feelings and opinions are as important and valid as anybody elses and you do have something worthwhile to say.
You are intelligent. Do not let anybody persuade you otherwise.
Have courage in your own convictions and be prepared to stand alone if you think something is important enough.
